Taco Soup

This is a favorite of mine. I make a pot of it and then eat it for lunch for the rest of the week. Oh, and it couldn't possibly be any easier.Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef (ground turkey works really well too for a lighter dish)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 16oz can corn
1 16oz can kidney beans
1 16oz can black beans
1 8oz can tomato sauce
1 16oz can diced tomatoes
1 pkg. taco seasoning

Brown ground beef and onion until cooked through in 5qt pan. Add remaining ingredients. Do not drain the cans, you need the juice. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

It is great served with some sour cream, cheese and tortilla chips.
Serves 10
Points: 5

Prosciutto Chicken Stromboli

I love it when I play around in the kitchen and something great comes out of it! We had a few slices of leftover prosciutto in the fridge and I was trying to come up with something to do with it. I had made a ham and cheese Stromboli a few weeks ago so Tyson suggested that we try a prosciutto Stromboli. So, I gave it a go and I really like how it turned out.
Someday I'll figure how to take better food pictures. Until then, I'm sorry for the poor quality, but I still think that it is helpful to have pictures.Ingredients:
1/2 c. hot water
1/2 T. yeast
1/2 t. sugar
1/2 t. salt
1 T. olive oil
1-1/4 c. flour
6 slices of prosciutto
1 chicken breast, cooked and cubed
1/4 c. Italian dressing
8-10 fresh basil leaves
1 green onion, chopped
1-1/2 c. Mozzarella cheese
1 egg white, slightly beaten
1/4 c. Romano cheese

Dissolve the yeast in water in a medium mixing bowl. Add sugar, salt, olive oil and flour. knead for about five minutes. Roll out into a rectangle on a greased baking dish (I use my pizza stone).

Spread the Italian dressing over the top leaving about 1/2 inch all the way around. Layer the prosciutto, basil leaves, chicken, green onion, and mozzarella cheese. Carefully roll it into a log and pinch seal the side and edges closed.

Baste with the beaten egg white and top with Romano cheese. The Romano cheese adds a great flavor and makes for a nice look when finished baking.Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Yields 8 slices
